Was the rape scene really that explicit?

Light grabs sue, there's a lot of close ups, including of trembling hands, and we later see Sue has ripped pants.

Light makes some comments about "my date with Sue dibny" and some funny faces.

There's no nudity, and little other dialogue.

I'm not saying I'd want a five year old reading this book, but it seems like it not much more explicit than, say PG13.
